Correction: Annan NOT going to Zimbabwe
Contrary to earlier press reports, Kofi Annan is not going to accept Mugabe invitation, after all:
At a press briefing in New York yesterday, Annan's spokesman Stéphane Dujarric said while the UN secretary general had agreed in principle to visit Zimbabwe, a number of factors needed to be in place before the visit.
"Regardless of the date of an eventual visit by the Secretary-General, it's clear that a number of things need to happen," Dujarric said.
"One of them is that the evictions must cease and that humanitarian access, humanitarian aid must be provided to the people in need.
"There would need to be a start of a political process, such as a political dialogue between the government and other stakeholders in Zimbabwe," he said.
Yeah, right.
